My uncle is installing it on his 500kW (at the wheels) Corvette. He is quite positive it will help him get some traction around Malalla as at the moment he has very little!

Will let you know how he goes

thanks mike, keep us posted.

i was comparing this thing to the Beer Rev limiter and other launch controllers...... and was wondering which one would be more effective

im sure there great but, probly exspensive, in my R34 i just ground traction controll butter fly down a little which made it heaps more fun but not as unsafe as driving around with it turned off.

but thats just me

They cannot be compared to the Bee-R. A guy i know has one in a 450hp SVI Rx7. I've heard its phenomenal. Set your slip ratio with the control, say 10% and you can just plant it out of slow corners with it maintaining that slip % while rally style popping out the exhaust.

i hear it goes for around $1500

not cheap =] but if it works im defiently grabbn one

I have run an RLTC with launch control (pre-digital adjuster version) for a while now. It is, quite simply, a phenomenal unit. I run it on a moderately modified 1JZ Soarer making substantially more power than stock, and it has literally saved my life in the wet on at least 3 separate occasions. It is no substitute for driving with "situational awareness", but in a high powered RWD car, it just buys you that little extra time to perform corrective manoeuvres. I imagine the benefits would multiply on a high powered AWD car. The launch control is fun too :D As stated, it is very customisable; basic settings are Wet, Dry, and 10--30% slip via the adjustment knob. Obviously, it can also be switched off.

IMHO it's one of the most worthwhile mods I've ever performed.

LOL great way to lean you're engine out, the TCS is a fine balance between ignition and fuel cut (3 cylinders off) and blancing the air to match via the butterfly, letting more air in due to grinding the buterfly down will push your AFRs stupidly high.

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
